Discussion: Schiff: Trump May 'Face The Real Prospect Of Jail Time' After Leaving Office

Ok it’s inconsistent.

I don’t think it’s fatal. If you read Nadler carefully he has a qualifier in his statement that means everything - “necessarily”

I actually think that’s the idea.

One of the genuine, toxic dangers of Trump is a (well justified) criminal prosecution. Which will lead the Republicans to spend the next two generations seeking to criminally indict every subsequent Democratic president. That is exactly what happened after the Nixon (near) impeachment. Truly we’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t.

At some point you simply have to rip off the band aid and let the right go apopleptic while losing voters.

That’s a good thought and I can see that too. hahahaha Keep Trumpy jumpy.

We can’t make plans or decisions based on how the GOP will possibly want to get revenge.

What I love is he’s never stood on a stage like an idiot while rubes chanted “Lock her up!” In a previous life he actually locked people up. So he knows what he’s talking about here.

Even Fox & Friends (or at least its Graphics Department) agrees with that sentiment.

This was brought up in another thread, but if he’s simply impeached and not also removed from office, then he gets lifetime Secret Service protection. Plus all the other post-office benefits like diplomatic passport, federally funded staff and office space, etc.

So what does “jail time” mean for a guy with lifetime Secret Service protection and a funded staff? Maybe house arrest, and not in one of his fancy digs. Anyway, that’s the best reason to hope for not just impeachment but removal from office, slim as those odds are with the current senate. His time after office will be cushy and protected otherwise, regardless of any conviction.

It’s kind of remarkable how many ex-prosecutors we have on committees. Kamala Harris is another one.

Democrats take elections seriously and generally elect serious, thoughtful people whereas Republicans elect whoever can bellow the loudest with extra points for logical fallacies.

You got that right. hahahahaha The GOP as it exists now is one big logical fallacy so that’s who they elect.

Eh, not sure of that. If you convicted him of extremely serious crimes, imposed house arrest in some modest dwelling, and required him not to communicate with the public—which I think would be necessary because he’s a security risk—I think he would find it extremely onerous. Attention is a very close second to oxygen to a person as sick as he is. So is the avoidance of shame, and he couldn’t. Everything in his existence would scream at him that he’s in disgrace.

Is there an article you can recommend so I can get up to speed on state crimes vs federal crimes, and the limitations of Presidential pardon power, and the possibility of shielding prosecutions by filing state charges?
